Description
There are no bolts on this 1954 Royal Robbins route.
P1: Climb flakes left of a right-facing dihedral until you're in a left-facing dihedral.
P2: climb up into a right-facing dihedral with a wide crack (a #4 is helpful). Belay at a ledge with a small tree.
P3: leave the ledge and follow a thin crack in a very nice right facing dihedral past two fixed pitons. When under a small roof, make an exciting traverse straight right 15' (5.6) to gain a crack system and then up to a belay spot.
P4: climb up into a right-facing dihedral.(There is a fixed pin ~3' left of the line, just before a smooth crux.) Continue up over a couple of bushes. Belay at a fixed pin in the corner.
P5: continue up steep chunky blocks and trend rightward as desired to gain a rock-filled chute with a tree at its base.
P6: follow the 4th class chute to the topp.
Location
Next crack system right of the large roof, right of El Grandote.
Protection
Pro to 3", #4 C4 helpful.
